What water bottle do you use?

[Nine Tailed Fox]

Have LTT water bottle for working out and this for home use

[Guest]

I use a vacuum water bottle. Like those sort of new-ish design ones. They are actually really really good as a thermos, so you make a coffee in the morning, still too hot to drink by lunch. Great for super cold water on a bike trip.

Same here, got mine on sale for 8 bucks.

[zassou]

cheap, cycling bottles. costs about 4 usd a piece.

what is the point? Just use the plastic water bottle it comes with.

My water comes from the faucet though. Because it's not filled with lead and other crap here.

Keeps my water ice cold throughout the entire day. Some reviews says it leaks but... I honestly haven't experienced that at all.

I am using a company branded water-bottle that was made for these Beva or w/e seltzer water machines we have here. I guess for me it is a bitter sweet thing. They gave us these fancy water machines and yet took away all of the soda machines

I use a 64oz Yeti rambler while I'm at work, it's a beast.  One in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Why would you use a plastic water bottle?

 

Obviously some parts of the world don’t have safe drinking water - that’s a problem. 

 

I personally live in Canada, and the vast majority of tap water is perfectly safe to drink. 

 

I use a Thermoflask vacuum insulated bottle I got Fromm costco in a 2-pack.

ThermoFlask Stainless Steel 40-Ounce Water Bottle (Light Blue/Black), 2-Piece https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B078NKV2WN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_smcwDb6DJYJHT

 

It was only like $30 at Costco though - the bottles are massive and well worth it.

Am I a weirdo for drinking water out of a glass?

[kelvinhall05]

I don't really have a water bottle, but if I need one I just reuse a plastic bottle lol.

[Yoinkerman]

I have a purple nalgene I like

[minibois]

At home/school I just have glasses of water, but at work I have (WD branded) metal bottle. Pretty easy to clean and holds my water plenty cool for me. 

Personally i hate drinking from plastic, especially if it gets hotter

Yes, you are. For drinking water, that is; the glass has nothing to do with it.

Some stainless steel Contigo 16 oz.

Yay for plastic waste.

I use one of these Brita Vital bottles, because I can fill it up anywhere without having to worry about the quality of the water, which considering I spend an awful lot of time travelling around, is very important

Plus, I literally can't drink the tap water at one of our houses because it has slightly hard water, but the filter in the bottle makes it drinkable. At the other house we have moderately soft water so it tastes nice straight from the tap, but I still use the bottle anyway because I hate drinking water from a glass

 

The only downside to these is the price of the filters, it's about £10 for a pack of 3.

I have plenty of the filter discs from my original Brita Fill and Go Bottle so I've just 3D printed an adaptor

Keep in mind that Brita doesn't filter out a lot of stuff. If water is contaminated with pathogens like E.Coli, a Brita is not going to protect you. They mostly filter out metals and other particulate matter.

Independent testing has confirmed that it does do a damn good job at removing most of the stuff it claims, though.

That's ok. Our tap water is pretty safe to drink here. I mean, for now at least.

Honestly I use it for the taste more than anything! I only fill it up from drinking water taps, and from shops that offer free water bottle refills so the water is theoretically already safe to drink, but I prefer having the extra filter anyway

[Lord Mirdalan]

A hydration pack... Overkill, but fun.

Ours too. Very few places in Canada with unsafe drinking water. I was more pointing out that the person I quoted was saying he could pretty much travel anywhere without worrying about the water. That’s not true.

That’s good - just do your research if traveling the countries that you’re not familiar

with. Some countries you literally need to boil the water to make it safe.

Good thing I don't leave the country then!

To be honest, even when I went to France and Spain, I didn't drink their tap water!

Camelbak Podium dirt chill 21oz for my bike generally. It's insulation kinda sucks but it's better then my CamelBak Chute which can't fit in my bottle cage anyway.  

 

 

I got a glacier point insulted steel bottle as well and it's seriously good for keeping water cold in my usage. I don't use the straw cap it comes with just the metal insulated cap with D- ding. These things should be a few dollars less then 20 USD on amazon prime. 

[gyara]

I use a cheap bottle i found at Ikea. Makes my water taste like plastic though...
